Stephen, Tony & Andy played three, three sided SAGA Age of Vikings<\/a> games, using the Battle Royale scenario from the Book of Battles. Victory is normally decided by Survival points in this scenario, and that’s how we played the first game. In the second game we decided to use Slaughter points, and in the third reverted to Survival Points, but with 5 points for controlling the central objective (the building) and for each charge made.<\/p>\n

The first two games finished with the same result, Stephen won, Andy came second and Tony came third. The third game was a tie between Stephen and Andy, with Tony bringing up the rear.<\/p>\n

Alan staged an Early WWII game using the I Ain’t Been Shot Mum!<\/a> rules.<\/p>\n

Finally, Peter ran a 75mm Lord of the Rings skirmish game. This is a participation game set in the Mines of Moria, with players controlling one main character and one Hobbit each. They must buy time for the NPC Gandalf to cast a delaying\/blocking spell on the escape route \u2013 before the Balrog turns-up! There will be a more in depth report on this game in the near future.<\/p>\n
